How Can You Improve Your Employee Engagement?

Employee Engagement is a fundamental concept in the effort to understand and describe, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the nature of the relationship between an organization and its employees. An "engaged employee" is defined as one who is fully absorbed by and enthusiastic about their work and takes positive action to further the organization's reputation and interests. An engaged employee has a positive attitude towards the organization and its values. (Wikipedia contributors)

There are two components to creating and maintaining successful employee engagement: consistent leadership and workplace practices. Evaluation of these areas can provide insight into developing or fine-tuning a program that creates positive employee engagement, promotes better performance, encourages extra effort, and produces lower turnover rates.

Involved leadership sets the stage for successful employee engagement and initiates momentum towards a positive employee experience. It is workplace practices and service culture that carry that momentum forward. By reinforcing best practices through fairness, clarity, creativity, and consistency, leadership can meaningfully encourage employees to deliver exceptional customer experiences that directly impact their job satisfaction and the bottom line. As per Gallup’s statistics on employee engagement, 87% of employees worldwide are not engaged at work, and companies with highly engaged workforces outperform their peers by 147% in earnings per share.
